if congress fails to act and we go over the fiscal cliff, the tax rate on capital gains will increase to 20% on january 1, 2013. in today's fragile economy, with unemployment still hovering around 8%, we should not be raising taxes on capital gains. two years ago, a study by the american council for capital formation showed that increasing the capital gains tax would cause measurable damage to the economy. the study estimated that if the capital gains tax was increased to 20% from 15%, real economic growth would fall by 0.05 percentage points per year and jobs would decline by about 231,000 per year. if the rate is increased to 28%, real economic growth declines by 0.1 percentage points per year and 602,000 fewer jobs are created each year. and the fiscal cliff is only part of the story. in less than a month, a new 3.8% tax on net investment income of single taxpayers earning more than $200 and -- $200,000 and married couples earning more than $250,000 will go into effect as part of the so-called accountable care act. as a result the tax rate on capital gains for upper-income taxpayer
